THOMAS PYNCHON KNOWS the high

.cost of living better than anybody

except the devil. Pynchon is the evil

genius of our time, the man with the

quickest eye for what makes this an

age of rapacity and sexual hate. He

is the American Goya whose dazzling

canvases are lit from hell, whose message

is: Death Rules.
